Facebook is a dying platform, it's bleeding users like nothing else and there is no way they can save it. Good riddance to one of the worse things to happen to the internet and free speech, to humanity in general.

These security state censors can not keep us in the dark. It didn't work in the Soviet Union or China and it is condemned to failure because where there is a means there is an end, freedom of speech will prevail!!

Maybe one day Musk will buy this company too and close at least some of the back doors.

If Facebook considers their "fact checking" to be a valuable service for their users shouldn't Facebook be charging for these "fact checks"?

The poor who can't afford these "fact checks" would never see these "fact checks".

Elon Musk just wants you to forget about his wonky ideas like colonizing Mars, and that his car ain't exactly environmentally friendly. He's grandstanding, pure & simple.

The party registration of Climate Scientists isn't really a smoking gun. Most of Scientists are going to be atheist and as a result won't have a lot to say to today's culture warrior Christian Right. That's unfortunate. I take a page from the Catholic Church here, wherein God is seen as the author of two books: Nature and the Bible. Scientists & Theologians need not be set against each other in this way.

I just don't understand the fact check routine as the mainstream media outlets are spreading lies all the time without these fact Checkers making a sound. Its not about the truth but about control of the information we get.

It is relatively trivial to find out how the tubes of the google are "owned".

Simply try to perform searches to research gun control, pharmaceuticals, or Ukraine. ;-)

Fact checking is tricky business. Take this statement today: "Lavrov warns that the war between Russia and the West is no longer «hybrid» but a «near-real» conflict"

*fact check: it doesn't matter if you believe it .. . they clearly do!

The tech giants have an opportunity to stand for freedom of speech, but they do the exact opposite. It shows us what their true values actually are. Excellent article, Kevin!
